Emily was amazing with Sunny! She stayed in our home for a week and took such great care of him. She kept in touch the whole time with updates, treated Sunny like her own, and made us feel totally at ease while we were away. She’s super friendly, and we came home to an absolutely spotless house. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would definitely have Emily watch Sunny again!

Allison is fantastic! This was the first time we hired a sitter and we were a little apprehensive but Allison relieved all our worries. Our two dogs, Joe and Molly and even our cat, Jeff were extremely happy and well taken care of the whole time we were gone. We couldn't be happier with the care Allison provided and will definitely be looking to book with her again.

Julia was amazing! She was so communicative and we got home to a happy and healthy pup (and a 100% clean apartment!) I could tell she was spending a lot of time with our buddy and really appreciated her attention and support. Would absolutely book again!

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for 8 years! I have sat for cats, dogs, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and more! I am always up for the task when it comes to animals! From longs walks to outdoor play I am your girl! If your dog likes going on adventures and likes the car I am your girl. As well as having three days off during the week and working brunch on Saturdays I have a lot of free time to spend with your pets! Open to overnights, pop in's or just walks! Making sure pets get the most attention possible is a priority to me. Snuggles and toys is the most important part. If your pet is comfortable. I am only available to stay in clients homes.

Leesha was amazing with our pups. She kept us updated and sent just the right amount of pictures to show they were doing well and well cared for. Ace my rottweiler is not good with stranger's but he immediately loved Leesha which put my family at ease as this was our biggest concern using Rover for the first time and leaving our dogs with a stranger.

About: I have been taking care of my own dog since I was 12 years old. I have recently started dog sitting for others in the last 2-3 years. I have the most experience with medium to large sized dogs and have no issues with the small dogs as well! I love to take the dogs I watch for walks/hikes around the area (if they are able to). I have experience with up to two dogs at a time as well as senior-aged dogs. I work in the public schools during the school year, but during the summer I am free much more often to take care of all your pet needs. I am available most weekdays and weekends for house sitting, dog walking or just stopped-in services for potty breaks. I have been actively dog sitting for 3-4 years now. I take the utmost care of your pets as well as your home! I will make sure to leave your home in the same state or better than it was when I entered your home. I know how important pets and animals can be and I can 100% be trusted with your animals and your home!

About: I've loved all animals ever since I was born! I've had all different species, shapes and sizes of animals ranging from fish, guinea pigs, bunnies, and of course my favorites; cats and dogs. Over the years, I have cared for my own animals as well as friends and family. I'm patient, caring, and dedicated to ensuring your pet receives the best care! I have a full time job but have availability during the week before 8 am and after 4pm for the summers and before 9am and after 6pm during the winter. Weekends are more flexible and I can dedicate more time to caring for your furry friend! My current living situation does not allow for pets, so I am available to care for your pet in the comfort of their own home and neighborhood!

About: Owned dogs entire life, have trained rescue dogs, and have experience in providing senior care for dogs. My dog is diabetic so I also have experience with insulin injections and oral medication. I have a fenced in backyard and many toys for dogs to play with! I am able to board and care for dogs throughout the weeks due to flexibility in my schedule. I am also willing to let your dog out when available, and help in any way I can! I will make sure the dogs are loved and shown affection, played with, walked, and taken care of as needed. I will always make sure the dogs are happy, have water at all times, toys to play with, etc.

Sam is awesome! She took excellent care of our dog and cat while we were away visiting family. She was very communicative and sent updates and pictures every day. She gave extra love to our dog, Luna, who is afraid of fireworks- making sure she was home during the fireworks time, and comforting Luna throughout the night. She even suggested a product (the happy hoodie) which helped Luna stay calm, and it was very thoughtful for Sam to think of that! We felt completely confident that our fur babies were in good hands while we were gone. And she also took good care of our house- even offering to vacuum to keep up with the crazy amounts of dog hair Luna sheds. Thank you so much, Sam! We’re looking forward to having you pet sit for us again!
